8 Departing from the dear ones

Time flew so fast and finally, it was the day for Alora to move to Japan with Merry while her granny was moving to Italy. And it was the same day of her school function which Alora was referring to her granny with the excitement to attend there. But she couldn't attend it as they were moving out on the same day.

After bidding goodbye to everyone Alora along with her granny and aunt headed to the airport together. On the whole way to the airport, Alora was hugging her granny like a little kid while Merry was gently holding Alora's hand on her lap. Both granny and Merry knew that Alora was hardly holding tears in her eyes and anytime she could cry.

While going to the airport they got to pass Alora's school on the way. When they were passing the school Alora could remember every memory of her which was related to the school and it was making her sadder. Every inch of the way to the airport was reminding her of the memories and the time from her childhood to then that she spent with her granny, her friends, her teachers and maidservants at her home along with butlers. And somehow while reminding them she felt in her heart that maybe she was not going to have them ever again in her life after her leaving from Britain to Japan.

After reaching the airport they could see that assistant Jessy and butler Clark were waiting for them on the entrance as she was accompanying Alora's granny to Italy. Butler Clark was there to see off them properly. Both Alora and granny hugged each other for a one last time while bursting into tears before departing for a long time while Merry, assistant Jessy, and butler Clark were watching them with a sad expression on their face.

"My dear princess, always be happy no matter where you are or whom you are with... And always take care of yourself and stay safe.", said granny in a gentle voice while tears were rolling down from her eyed.

"I will do but you too have to do the same, granny... I am going to miss you so much, my beautiful... Please, come back soon... Please...", Alora said while bursting into crying more.

"I will miss you too, my dear... And I will try my best to come back as fast as I can.", granny said while wiping Alora's tear.

"Merry, as you promised to take care of my little princess better than me that's why I am handing over my previous flower to you. So, don't forget your promise. Raise her as a delicate flower. Never let her get hurt...", granny said while hugging Merry.

"I promise, mom. I will fulfil the words that I promised you. I will raise our Alora like my own. I won't let her get hurt ever. Don't worry. You can rest assured to me.", Merry said to granny while holding her both hands with her to assure her more.

"OK then, I am looking forward to it. Take care of yourself and stay safe too. Send Johnathan my regards. Have a safe journey. I will contact you after I reach there", said granny.

"Safe journey too.", said both Alora and Merry while hugging granny for one more last time.

Then after consoling Alora for sometimes more granny handed Alora to Merry again with the promise to take care of Alora properly if possible more than her granny did no matter what. After that, her granny along with butler Clark and assistant Jessy headed in a different direction while Alora and Merry headed to another direction for flying to their destinations.

Alora's heart was aching too much that it was so painful for her to bear. Because it was the first time she was separating from her granny ever since her birth. Merry could feel Alora's sadness and she was consoling her on the whole journey.
